Reply to comment by ArtificialHalo in Do 2 objects on opposite "ends" of the universe pull on each other to some extremely minute degree? by Courcy6185
Well, different amounts since theres more mass in 1 right?

No, Newton's 3rd law - every action has an equal and opposite reaction.
The force acting on one object is equal to the force acting on ther other - now the relative motion of each object will be different, as a lighter mass will accelerate more than the larger mass, but the product of an objects mass and acceleration will be equal to the other's.
In short: Small mass has big acceleration, Huge mass has tiny acceleration. Both have same force acting on them.
